If you go into a relationship expecting someone else to fill you up, you’re doomed right off.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that if you rely on your partner to make you feel complete or happy, your relationship is likely to fail. You need to be a whole and fulfilled person on your own before you can have a healthy relationship with someone else. You can't expect your partner to "fill you up" or make you whole - that's something you have to do for yourself. If you go into a relationship expecting your partner to make you feel better about yourself, the relationship won't work out well.
